[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 1490887, member: 219467"] I'm pretty sure the studies you speak of have never shown that particular benefit. And indeed they seem to raise some people's blood glucose levels. The problem a lot of people have with the science behind statin therapy is the underlying assumption that "cholesterol" is bad. It is essential for life and is produced and regulated by your body. The mechanisms of exactly how and what it does are not yet fully understood so to artificially lower it by taking a drug could be messing with something that is both essential and natural. very true however as elevated blood glucose levels seem to be a precursor to many other diseases then it is certainly worth doing all we can to keep it under control.
